< Sudcov 4 >

1 Po smrti pak Ahoda činili opět synové Izraelští to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord when Ehud was dead.
2 I vydal je Hospodin v ruce Jabína krále Kananejského, kterýž kraloval v Azor; (a kníže vojska jeho byl Zizara, ) sám pak bydlil v Haroset pohanském.
And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Jabin, king of Canaan, who was ruling in Hazor; the captain of his army was Sisera, who was living in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 Tedy volali synové Izraelští k Hospodinu; nebo devět set vozů železných měl, a on násilně ssužoval Izraele za dvadceti let.
Then the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron war-carriages, and for twenty years he was very cruel to the children of Israel.
4 Debora pak žena prorokyně, manželka Lapidotova, soudila lid Izraelský toho času.
Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.
5 (A bydlila Debora pod palmou, mezi Ráma a mezi Bethel na hoře Efraim), i chodili k ní synové Izraelští k soudu.
(And she had her seat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her to be judged.)
6 Kterážto poslavši, povolala Baráka, syna Abinoemova, z Kádes Neftalímova, a řekla jemu: Zdaližť nerozkázal Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Jdi, a shromáždě lid na horu Tábor, vezmi s sebou deset tisíc mužů z synů Neftalím a z synů Zabulon.
And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 Nebo přitáhnu k tobě ku potoku Císon Zizaru kníže vojska Jabínova, a vozy jeho i množství jeho, a dám jej v ruku tvou.
And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.
8 I řekl jí Barák: Půjdeš-li se mnou, půjdu; pakli nepůjdeš se mnou, nepůjdu.
And Barak said to her, If you will go with me then I will go; but if you will not go with me I will not go.
9 Kteráž odpověděla: Jáť zajisté půjdu s tebou, ale nebudeť s slávou tvou cesta, kterouž půjdeš, nebo v ruku ženy dá Hospodin Zizaru. Tedy vstavši Debora, šla s Barákem do Kádes.
And she said, I will certainly go with you: though you will get no honour in your undertaking, for the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Svolav pak Barák Zabulonské a Neftalímské do Kádes, vyvedl za sebou deset tisíc mužů; a šla s ním i Debora.
Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him.
11 Heber pak Cinejský oddělil se od Kaina, od synů Chobab, tchána Mojžíšova, a rozbil stany své až k Elon v Sananim, jenž jest v Kádes.
Now Heber the Kenite, separating himself from the rest of the Kenites, from the children of Hobab, the brother-in-law of Moses, had put up his tent as far away as the oak-tree in Zaanannim, by Kedesh.
12 Oznámeno pak bylo Zizarovi, že vytáhl Barák syn Abinoemův na horu Tábor.
And word was given to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.
13 Protož shromáždil Zizara všecky vozy své, devět set vozů železných, a všecken lid, kterýž měl s sebou z Haroset pohanského, ku potoku Císon.
So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.
14 I řekla Debora Barákovi: Vstaň, nebo tento jest den, v němž dal Hospodin Zizaru v ruku tvou. Zdali Hospodin nevyšel před tebou? I sstoupil Barák s hory Tábor, a deset tisíc mužů za ním.
Then Deborah said to Barak, Up! for today the Lord has given Sisera into your hands: has not the Lord gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.
15 A porazil Hospodin Zizaru a všecky ty vozy, i všecka ta vojska ostrostí meče před Barákem; a sskočiv Zizara s vozu, utíkal pěšky.
And the Lord sent fear on Sisera and all his war-carriages and all his army before Barak; and Sisera got down from his war-carriage and went in flight on foot.
16 Ale Barák honil ty vozy a vojsko až do Haroset pohanského; i padlo všecko vojsko Zizarovo od ostrosti meče, tak že nezůstalo ani jednoho.
But Barak went after the war-carriages and the army as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all Sisera's army was put to the sword; not a man got away.
17 Zizara pak utíkal pěšky k stanu Jáhel, manželky Hebera Cinejského; nebo pokoj byl mezi Jabínem králem Azor a mezi čeledí Hebera Cinejského.
But Sisera went in flight on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.
18 I vyšedši Jáhel v cestu Zizarovi, řekla jemu: Uchyl se, pane můj, uchyl se ke mně, neboj se. I uchýlil se k ní do stanu, a přistřela jej huní.
And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.
19 Kterýž řekl jí: Dej mi, prosím, píti maličko vody, nebo žízním. A otevřevši nádobu mléčnou, dala mu píti a přikryla ho.
Then he said to her, Give me now a little water, for I have need of a drink. And opening a skin of milk, she gave him drink, and put the cover over him again.
20 Řekl také jí: Stůj u dveří stanu, a přišel-li by kdo, a ptal se tebe, řka: Jest-li zde kdo? odpovíš: Není.
And he said to her, Take your place at the door of the tent, and if anyone comes and says to you, Is there any man here, say, No.
21 Potom vzala Jáhel manželka Heberova hřeb od stanu, vzala též kladivo v ruku svou, a všedši k němu tiše, vrazila hřeb do židovin jeho, až uvázl v zemi; (nebo ustav, tvrdě byl usnul, ) a tak umřel.
Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.
22 A aj, Barák honil Zizaru. I vyšla Jáhel vstříc jemu, a řekla mu: Poď, a ukážiť muže, kteréhož hledáš. I všel k ní, a aj, Zizara ležel mrtvý na zemi, a hřeb v židovinách jeho.
Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.
23 A tak ponížil Bůh toho dne Jabína krále Kananejského před syny Izraelskými.
So that day God overcame Jabin, king of Canaan, before the children of Israel.
24 I dotírala ruka synů Izraelských vždy více, a silila se proti Jabínovi králi Kananejskému, až i vyhladili téhož Jabína krále Kananejského.
And the power of the children of Israel went on increasing against Jabin, king of Canaan, till he was cut off.
